Dive into the ways animation pipelines relate to production mapping in France.
Video on demand
It all started with research on the animation landscape in France and beyond. It soon evolved into an academic view of technical pipelines and workflows, with the goal of mapping these with local business and talent structures. There is much to present and discuss from an academic perspective and from the producers' perspective. The focus is on France, but it also provides an overview of the questions and topics to be explored in other countries.
